Re: Cannot change Virginmedia login email

I tried to change our virginmedia sign in details to a @virgin.net email, but received the message 'Sorry, you can’t change your sign in details to a @virgin.net email address, please choose a different email.' Can someone help please?

  • Hey jamesbrennan_1_, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry to hear this.

    We would advise you to change this to a different email, is it just the one you login with you are trying to change?

      Hi Matt

      Thank you for messaging back.

      I have used my @virgin.net email for all emails since the beginning of email accounts. It's so long ago now, I cant recall when, perhaps the early '90's. It is therefore very time consuming and complicated to change all my linked accounts. Some third party accounts which use my virgin.net original email address are that old that the user name cannot be changed from my virgin.net email address. I have health issues which I struggle with and I am due to go into hospital tomorrow for a procedure, and then stay as an inpatient for approx. 10 days, post op. which limits my ability to resolve things. I really could do with more time or I will simply not be able to resolve the issues in time. Matt, can you please assist? Thank you in anticipation.

      goslow....

      The VM Broadband account is held in another name and I was advised that the names HAD to be identical.  Lets hope Matt from VM can help. 

  • Thanks Daniel

    I thought I had replied to Matt. 

    How do I privately reply to him? I regret I can't see/find to find the correct button to click to do this. 

    Cheers
